I noticed a caravan of Ferraris on 55 yesterday morning when I was headed back to Morrisville, as they were presumably coming from/headed to the C&C meet. Still, I completely forgot about the M5 meetup.
I would've been the odd man out with my Imola, but I think I'm okay with that given the rest of the company
I'll be adding the group on FB shortly.

Now I see why I don't see very many M5's here is Charlotte, NC......they are all up in Raleigh, NC. Great photos !!!!

In the 3+ years I have owned my car, I had only ever seen one other LMB M5 in the Raleigh area. Otherwise, I might have seen no more than 5-10 on the road around here. They're pretty rare to see anywhere in NC!

Same here. Chuck's is the ONLY other LMB I've seen here, period, in several years. Now we have tons of them. At least nobody had Caramel interior like mine. I'm still special! LOL

Theres actually an anthracite over caramel m5 running around the Cary Apex area. I see him every once in a while. He has a set of Hamaan wheels and a roof spoiler of sorts, but it seems everytime I seem him he is traveling in the other direction. Good looking car thoguh....

Someone (i.e. Roundel?) should do a story on his car (original owner), and his experience over 242,000 miles in an E39 M5. I had forgotten just how well sorted a totally stock M5 is on the street. Nice car Tom and congrats on keeping looking almost showroom new for 11 years and all those miles.

Chuck

That might make an interesting story, especially since the E39 M5 gets blasted by Mike Miller as being a real money pit. Hopefully Tom is reading this (or someone will tell him) and will get in touch with me if he'd like to discuss us doing a Roundel article.
